and this time they want the spending cuts in medicare in social security, and medicaid. they think the debt ceiling is where they have all the leverage. so they were able to take the points of the agreement, which was the fiscal cliff and the taxes, where it would go up automatically, get up with the smaller tax increase than expected. now we sort of move to the republican portion of the leverage agreement. republican republicans say there is no way they would be held hostage. if republicans want further spending cuts they will have to match it with tax increases. which side is right on that ultimately it is going to be decided who got the better end of this deal. >> ezra klein, thank you as always, happy new year to you. >> all right, we'll be right back. sometimes what we suffer from is bigger than we think ... like the flu. with aches, fever and chills- the flu's a really big deal. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so don't wait. ca

is the largest chunk of our budget when you are talking about, you know, separating social security, medicare, and medicaid. nobody wants to talk about defense spending cuts. this is the problem that we have. we have to be honest about the problem and republicans are not. when they talk -- when they tell the american people that we can solve this simply by what tax cuts, it's a fantasy. >> well, let me ask you both then. i mean, a big problem, obviously, is the distrust that has built up between both sides. you know, you had to bring in vice president biden and mitch mcconnell to make this deal. you have even bigger challenges ahead as we've been talking about all day long, so i'm wondering, joe, is there anything that we can learn from what we've seen over the last couple of days, even last several weeks, and ways to fix it that could sort of mitigate what everybody is looking at to be a disaster when we start talking about the debt limit and sequestration. i think cooler heads need to prevail. people need to look at not saefrl interest but of the interest of all americans, and compromise is
